View Full Version : PSOBB: My opinions on BB

I got online on BB today down at the local internet Cafe today, and must say it was very awesome!
I've been wanting to play for ages, couldn't really do much in ep4 though, but some higher level'd people took me through the first level, which was cool to see the new monsters and scenery, but I hadn't got a grip of the controls at the time.
I found the controls were a massive let down, sometimes you couldn't turn around very fast, which was anoying for me as I'm a HUmar, so I'd run away from the enemies, then not take long enough to turn around, and I'd end up attacking the air, pretty damn annoying but I started to get used to it. Changing weapons wasn't as swift as it could have been either, on the GC I change weapons a lot, and being able to change weapons in less than a second I find helpful, but pressing ctrl+end then weapon took a bit of time, and a few times I hit the home button instead :S.

The definant ups I found with BB is that, probobly due to it being pay to play, there were no idiots playing, by idiots I mean everything from people who don't understand the game, all the way through to people who just try and annoy you. It seems everyone thats paying to get in on the action wants to play the game, which was great! Was a bit annoying though when people of high high levels wanting to help, come in and just slaughter everything.
I played with a few noobs to BB too, and they had a very good understanding of PSO, I cannot remember his name, but I played with a really awesome RAcast most the day, we were slaughtering everything we came across!
Good game, makes me wish I had a computer that could run it so I could use it all the time :S.

Glad to hear it seems to be going well for you.

A quick suggestion about the quick-switch menu, you can set the controls to make it slightly easier (that's what I did when also trying to ctrl+end and failing miserably). Personally, I set the command applied to End as /. This way, I could use the right ctrl+/ and get my quick-menu that way. Close together, and near the arrow keys for the other commands... works pretty well.

Hmm... That indeed sounds like a good idea, guess I should try that out, or something similar next time I play.

I'm glad I got the chance for you to experience BB for the first time. It truly is a great experience for people new to Episode 4. I was the HUne (UltiSaikou) who was glad to be the tank in the game. =P Just wait until you explore the rest of the crater and the desert. http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif One thing tho is to get a controller it's much easier than the keyboard. :E

Yay, hows it going Sil'fer, I mean UltiSaikou!
That was really cool you taking me through that level http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif Really enjoyed it! Although I probobly wont be able to play too often, and would be lucky to reach hard http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif.

Unless I end up feeling like forking out an extra $80 a month for unlimited time at the net cafe, I've thought about it, but they close at 5, and that really weakens the unlimited time thing.

For turning faster... try working with the mouse more http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif

haha, I wasn't using the mouse at all, the main thing that was getting me was attacking say a group of sharks with a sword, moving back a bit, then turning around to hit them again, so I wouldn't get hit kinda thing, I shall try mousing it next time I'm on http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif
